Questions

How big is the EMFDetector PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EMFDetector use?

23 parts, built around the OPA2134UA. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the EMFDetector KiCad files?

From the curiouselectric/EMFDetector repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EMFDetector-PCB/Version_1/EMFDetector.kicad_pcb and its schematic EMFDetector-PCB/Version_2/EMFDetector_v2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EMFDetector design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask curiouselectric before reusing the design.
